Whats a good band name??

Question

me and my friends made a band. we play rock songs,from pink floyd and led zeppelin mostly but we want to make r own rock songs,but first we need a name got any ideas?? NO GAY NAMES.

Answer 1

The naming of your band could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance.

The name you choose will become the focal point of all the features that relate to your band. Fans will be able to find and refer others to it in the future.

Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...

I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.

I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.

Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.

Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending & registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.

There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Answer 2

Dang, I was gonna say Pink Zeppelin...lol...oh well... in that case... umm... I'd say keep it simple- 1 or 2 words max.

Try flipping through the dictionary at random looking at random words... intentionally misspelling stuff gets people's attention...

For instance you could be Spider or Spyder.

Try a Verb and a Noun (something that may or may not make sense, or provide inspiration, or something people might make a connection to)
Flowers Burning- indicates passion, burning passion, or destruction of said passion. If you let people read into it what they want, they'll be mystified and follow you! :)

Or one strong word:
Furnace
Castle

If you need an occasional lyrics writer, let me know... I love to write.

Good luck! If you use one of my suggestions, give me 10 pts, if you use one of my suggestions and make an album, write a "Special thanks to" for me and remember the poor guy who helped you come up with a name.
If you make it big and I wind up helping on a song, please please please remember poor me. :)
